In this Python Physics lesson, we show you how to compute current in a charging RC circuit using Python simulations. Learn the step-by-step process to model the charging behavior of resistors and ...

Author’s note: This article shows how to derive circuit gain equations via a signal flow graph. With practice you may be able to write a gain equation by locating signal paths and loops in the ...

A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

Explore how brightness changes in a circuit with two bulbs and a capacitor in this hands-on physics tutorial! Learn how capacitors affect current flow, energy distribution, and bulb luminosity through ...

Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

Last month, we clarified the definition of a vector and showed you how vectors are added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. This month, we'll see how to use vectors in defining a complex circuit ...

A parallel circuit is way of connecting components on separate branches, so the current can take different routes around the circuit. The current is different in different parts of a parallel circuit.

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...
